Common Core’s Hand In Supplanting American Schools with Islam

Parents for decades have blindly sent their children to the public school system and relegated their control to those who told them they could do it better, they knew better and the parents were better off not being involved.

The blinders are off however as parents are finally paying attention to what their kids are being taught. The aftermath of relinquishing control to to the “elite experts” has been uncovered and one can now see the implementation of academics that teach an Islamic centered world view in American taxpayer funded schools.

Donna Hearne, former Reagan official in the U.S. Department of Education and author of The Long War & Common Core, tells Breitbart News that a look at the history of Common Core shows the reform is the latest effort by progressive elites to take decision-making about children away from parents and transfer it to government bureaucrats.

“In the states that have seen more of an emphasis on Islam – students wearing the burqas and such – Islam is described as a ‘religion of peace’ and there is limited study of the nation’s Judeo-Christian foundation,” Hearne says. “But we can’t really call this emphasis on Islam as part of ‘Common Core,’ per se, which is the label for the movement of the standards reform that has been set by elites.”

This shift away from American exceptionalism and our Judeo-Christian foundation has made a thoroughfare that allows for infiltration of an Islamo-centric version of history, where the world is from the perspective of Islam and not from the Euro-centric version that has informed our American foundation and traditions.

As the elites structured K-12 education in the Universities across America with this as their philosophy, it opened the door of opportunity for one Muslim nation in particular to donate millions to universities that would spread their world view.

Harvard is one of about 18 universities that receive government funds under Title VI of the Higher Education Act of 1965. To receive the funding, the universities must perform outreach to K-12 teachers.

Additionally, however, CBN reported the Saudi government donated millions of dollars to Middle East Centers at universities that received the Title VI funds. Both the Harvard Center for Middle Eastern Studies Center and Georgetown University each received a $20 million donation from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal in 2005.

The outcome is that through the U.S. taxpayer-funded Title VI university centers, Saudi-funded “lesson plans” made their way into America’s K-12 classrooms.

With parents no longer involved with what their students were learning, it was easy to implement these changes over the decades. Also, because the federal government was now setting standards and not leaving education at the local level, where communities were in charge of what their particular district needed, the local school board and parents lost control of textbook choices and what went into these books.

“Saudi donations to American universities should be seen in a much larger picture of Saudi promotion of a Saudi point of view,” Daniel Pipes, director of the Middle East Forum in Philadelphia told CBN. “Whether it be Islamic or political, the Saudis have a point of view. And they have been very clever and very generous over the decades to promote that point of view.”

The uproar over Islamic lessons in seventh grade World History has opened many parents’ eyes to the brainwashing that is occurring in our schools on the dime of the American people and funded by a Muslim nation.

“The thrust of the movement in terms of American history that has led up to Common Core is that there is no greatness about America,” Hearne said and continued:

The underlying premise is that there is a moral equivalence between cultures. This has been around for years, but Common Core has raised the flag and parents are now engaged. Prior to Common Core, parents had never really read their children’s textbooks. I’m excited parents are finally getting more involved in their children’s education.

Parents, get involved in your child’s education.  Question authority. Read their books.  Discuss with your students what they are learning and counter it around the dinner table.  Read to them books that praise the greatness of our nation.  Don’t let them swallow the things they are learning at school without being their to make sure it is not mental poison.
